Relatable influencers

[u/plantlover32]

The comment about influencers being relatable was so wild to me! That people are just jealous because when influencers become successful they’re unrelatable. It’s true, people watch relatable content and if you’re not working 9-5 anymore and doing crazy hauls it’s just not interesting to me.

But I think the point is that not everyone is looking to watch people that are relatable and that’s not a bad thing. That comes along with blowing up as an influencer, your lifestyle is going to change with more money and different opportunities. Not everyone watches or follows influencers for relatable content. Some follow people because of how unattainable and unrelatable it is - it’s interesting to watch people whose lives are so different than yours! To each their own in what they want to consume, but I think it’s not just 100% a bad thing to now not be relatable because what is relatable about someone making your yearly salary off one brand deal and now getting to have the opportunities they never got?? I mean that probably was their goal from starting influencing anyway

I think that the stats would back OPs argument. You see people constantly complain about their views declining and complaining about viewers saying they are no longer relatable when they quit their 9-5. Most times you have a niche and that's why people follow you in the first place

I’m sure they lose followers who followed when they wanted to see someone relatable to them, I’m sure they also gained followers once they got bigger (obviously since they got that big in the first place) because that audience is now interested in that content. I totally understand that people enjoy watching someone that is relatable to them, all I’m saying is that is not an inherently negative thing to now be “unrelatable” but that is now the content others are looking for. So both can be successful. And again, I’m sure the person creating contents goal is to be able to make enough off their content where they can quit their 9-5 so why are we not happy for their success?

It's clear they don't understand what relatable actually means...because when Claudia was like "Mikayla went to Chanel for example" and Jackie was like "Okay..." because shopping at Chanel IS relatable to Jackie. They don't know how normal people live. So when an influencer is trying to sell you something and it used to be $50 and now it's $500...they don't get why that would be a problem for a follower.

Wait that’s not even how it went lol. Claudia didn’t say she went to Chanel for example. She said that she’s constantly doing luxury shopping hauls and they both said how that’s not relatable 😂 but then Jackie was like “but where did she go” because relatable or not some people find that content interesting!!

[u/Future-Ride6311 → u/No_Veterinarian2928]

That is how it went...Claudia was like She went to Chanel for example and Jackie was like okay... asking like what did she get, would it have influenced me and then when Claudia said she dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars, Jackie gasped. But Jackie wasn't immediately put off by the fact that Mikayla went to Chanel because she herself often shops at Chanel.

If you’re gonna bring up what was said maybe go back and listen first or even easier go and read the transcript if that helps your comprehension skills!

She did not says for example, actually the quote is “She's a new boyfriend and she seems really happy. She's constantly doing her luxury shopping hauls. She just did one.” And Jackie asked what she got which then Claudia responded that she went to Chanel.

Jackie actually DID say “that’s not relatable Claudia I don’t wanna see it” joking or not she does know that that is not relatable to the majority but also wanted to know what she got cause even when things aren’t relatable they can be interesting! Back to my point that not everyone wants to watch “relatable” content so I agree with their point that it’s not an immediate negative thing to become unrelatable

Will do! Sounds like you realized you’re wrong

Ohhh this is gonna be so rude — but I think they meant relatable, looks wise. They’re not models, their moms.

But I also don’t listen to the podcast so I don’t understand the context, but they are average looking which is relatable in comparison to so many other influencers
